I'm struggling with this one. Is this the layout?

B/A/R/O/D
B/A/G/O/R
B/G/L
D/Y/F/R/A/D/U/W/Y
C/R
C/R
A/N/R/O
T/Y/G

Remember no DLR, LU, Metrolink, Tyne & Wear Metro, Tramlink, Supertram, Blackpool Tramway, Nottingham Express Transit or heritage rail allowed. National Rail only!

It's NR, and it's in there! But note carefully the following lines:

My third and my fourth frequent Abergele,
But neither continue along down Pensarn way.

Can you confirm this is a National Rail station? I'm having trouble finding anything to match (maybe my letters are wrong).
